Atletico down Carrick's struggling Man United

Madrid's Atletico Madrid secured a 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the Champions League on Tuesday, intensifying pressure on United coach Michael Carrick. Pablo Barrios scored early in the first minute, and Ademola Lookman added another in the 79th minute for the hosts. Manchester United have endured their worst domestic start in 40 years, with the team now winless in five games across all competitions.

Lisandro Martinez, a United defender, described their performance as "really poor" and attributed the loss to issues within the club. Carrick started Carlos Baleba and Bruno Fernandes, while Atletico's Koke was absent due to his mother's death. Julian Alvarez made his first appearance of the season for Atletico, and Barrios paid tribute to Koke with six fingers.

United's Johan David received a red card in the 74th minute, allowing Lookman to capitalize on the rebound. Despite a late rally from United, Atletico claimed their first points after an opening loss to Liverpool.
